Simon Fraser my great grandfather was born anywhere between October 1860 and September 1852 the Lowland Cove, Meat Cove, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, and died September 21st, 1944.  I have the discrepancy for his birthday because his death certificate, his gravestone and the Canadian census has they years different.  I have been able to locate any birth cerficate for him to verify this.  

Simon married Christine Ann "Christy" MacLellan Abt. 1883 in Bay St. Lawrence, Cape Breton. She was born 01 May/February 1864 in Meat Cove, Cape Breton, Canada, and died the 13th of June 1910.

On the death certificate I have determined SImon’s parents names were John Fraser & Gracie MacDonald (McDonald) and that they were born in Mabou.  I have found a few of Simon’s sister and brothers death cerificates and the father’s name remains John Fraser the only difference is the mother’s name goes between Gracie and Flora.  I have to check if one or the other is a nickname.

John & Gracie/Flora remain elusive!
